So, the girls don't get to compete in the tournament against other schools?


The girls are competing as individuals because there are only 3 of them. The boys are competing as a group. Kind of like tennis where you can play singles or doubles.

I felt the same. 😅 Though I've seen most other people praise this for being no-nonsense and strong.

Maybe it's some sort of cultural difference. To me, that was an unncessary reaction towards nothing. Kind of like a girl who responds "I already have a boyfriend!" to a random guy's innocent question like "What time is it?".

Yeah I know lol
Where I live, girls don't use that lightly (like going straight to sexual harassment over something that doesn't warrant such a reply)so when they actually say anything remotely like what that character said, you better run for the hills lol

That's happened to me before, asking for the time at Shooters once and I just happen to pick a girl (who was sitting across from on another table)who had that type of attitude, she was giving me the stink eye and was like, "eww, I'm taken."

My reaction:

LOL

I hope the girls show some redeeming factors soon, like aid the boys' personal development in some way or at least be genuinely supportive of them in the upcoming tournament. I know the focus is on the boys team so I understand the girls are side pieces, but they're starting to become annoying from their attitudes and interactions that I'm starting to think of them as better gone, like what OG_Gattsu said below:

The girls are so one dimensional and irrelevant, I don’t see the purpose of them being in the story. They’re just their to add some diversity to the club, remove them and the story would still be the same

I can see next episode will be a great episode if not the best in this show. Furthermore, Yamada Naoko will be the storyboarder. Can't wait uh

I'm pretty new to anime, so what do you like about Yamada Naoko? I never knew storyboarders would be famous or get recognition for their work as well, so I'm really interested to hear your thoughts!

Every sports anime has got to have a team chemistry building episode lol, and this one was pretty good

Yamada Naoko is a great director (and storyboarder in this case), she's one of my favorites in the industry. Her work is usually really beautiful and fluid. She directed both K-On and Koe no Katachi which arguably have some of the best shot compositions and camera works in anime. I love her.

It seems that the bond between Kacchan and Narumiya is growing up a little.

Guess I'll be the only outlier here and say I thought this was a pretty weak episode.

I get the whole need for a team building exercise episode...happens all the time.... but this was one of the worst presented episodes I've seen...feels like it was rushed? Basically they go to the store, dude falls in river...seemingly unplanned by coach, they bond in bath tub, and profit...I feel like more effort could have been put into that writing wise.

It may be a chill show, but maybe to me it's just.....too basic.

The five are now closer than they ever were before.

Even Onogi appears to be warming up to Minato, but only a little bit.

Honestly, I don't understand some girls in anime, when a guy pays you a compliment on what your wearing all of a sudden he's some perv? or he's sexually harassing you?

What ever happened to just responding with a simple "Thank you" ??

I AM CONFUSION.

It took a while, but the boys have finally bonded. I'm glad they toned down the sudden drama these past few episodes. The character relations are improving visibly and I really liked how Masa-san handled the weekend.

This episode is definitely my favorite till now. It had typical KyoAni slice of life vibes, but this time we got Cute Boys Doing Cute Things instead of girls.

I am clearly easily amused because seeing the boys being forced to get up at four and being servants was rather amusing. Also Masa-san looks truly delicious....erm

This has got to be one of my favourite training camp episodes. I loved it!!!!!!! I really love the direction. The art & cinematography are stunning, the music is beautiful & I love how the character development is weaved in to an otherwise simple SOL

Why are people freaking out over the sexhar comment. It was definitely weird that the coach’s brother, who was an ADULT there as a photographer during a SCHOOL club trip, was making comments about how HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS looked good in their attire. Perhaps her response was a little curt but it definitely wasn’t an innocent compliment & she put him back in his place.







but i’ll probably remember over and over again
you were there and everyone else was there

The results of the training camp:

Their bond grows stronger. And they’re closer than before.
